Big, Long, Happy Sigh

"Listen! the wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,

We have had our summer evenings,

now for October eves!"

~ Humbert Wolfe

October.

October, my most favorite month, how I love you.
How I welcome your short days and cold, clear nights.
And find delight in your frosty mornings.
Oh October, I'm so glad you're here.
